Well I have to agree, the D2000 is more comfortable, The D2000 is more fun to listen to, it has more bass (like rap type bass guitar) The grado, to me seems to recreate the guitar sounds better. Also the bass is more controlled (like the kick drums) Sorry I am not very good at describing sounds. (like I suck at it)

I'm entirely biased as comfort is a big factor to me, buuut I prefer the D2000's over similarly priced Grados even for rock. But then again it's been a while since I compared D2000's and Grados. If I were you I'd take a look at Head-Fi's used section and keep a watch on Amazon too. Sometimes the price really dips.

Thanks dude, i'll be purchasing a pair of d2000's when I pay off my 6870 in 2 weeks. lol

s is for the straight cable. These are literlly the nicest headphones i have ever owned. First pair i can wear for hours on end and never get uncomfortable. They sound awesome. I started noticing highs and lows i never heard before (i need some good speakers apparently as well). They are great for rock no crazy bass boosting and such. Also absolutely great for gaming.
